Art in New York Saloons.

What with turning groggerles into
art galleries. confronting the customer
with mahogany and mirrors at every
turn, and even abolishing the bar itself
and compelling him to drink at side
board, the drinker must begin to feel
compelled to maintain his dignity and
experience much discomfort at the
thought of behaving improperly in the
presence of such elegant furniture.
Mahogany has become SO common as
to be vulgar, and piano-makcrs recog-
nizing the fact, long since abandoned
the brighter shades in cases, and now
put out only dark structures in this
wood. But the saloons are catching
this point, too. and at least one down
town liquor dealer has modelled his
business place accordingly. Instead of
brilliant mahogany the interior walls
are sheathed with subdued walnut. In
other respects this saloon is unique. 1t
is very small, about twenty feet by
eighteen, but it is divided into three
departments: Bar proper, soda-watcr
and other temperance drinks. and
c'gars. Besides these there is special
desk for the cashier. and little private
office. The bar proper is separated by
partitions from the other departments,
and fat. gorgeously-arrayed cash boy
travels between it and the cashier for
the convenience of customers who are
disinclincd to walk across the room.
There are stock and news tickers in
the corners, one or two comfortable
arm-chairs. shelf full of directories,
and the polite attendants. Incandes-
cent lamps, in clusters, illume the
place. A particularly interesting feature
of the furnishings is the cigar-case.
The glass panels. instead Of being
fastened into nickel-platcd brass rails,
are inserted in pearl rails, which glist-
en- and glow with all the colors of the
prism. But The most interesting thing
of all about this little establishment is
that it is on that acre of land that is
the most valuable property in the coun-
try, and it is frequently asserted that
no site in the world is rated higher
the immediate neighborhood of the
stockexchange along Wall from Broad
street to Broadway. - Cor. Indianapolis

The Principal Topic of 1886.

"In the retrospect of the year just
closed the most prominent topic OF
public thought which appears is the La
Dor question:" says The Ncto York
World. Numerous strikes, large and
small, have occurred. Several OF them
were of great Importance. The whole
business of the country felt the effect
of the railroad strike in the Southwest,
and the wholesale trade OF st. Louis
was in large part suspended for weeks.
The vast packing houses of Chicago
were twice closed. and in the later in
stance the military were called upon to
preserve order. The people of this
city and OF Brooklyn were seriously in.
commoded more than once by site
ups" of the street railways. The list
of these Interruptions in the regular
course of things might be extended in
definitely.
''All this has involv ed great loss
both to capital and in wages, but it is
not without its compromising features.
The employed have in consequence, as
a class, a clearer insight Of the fact
that there are influences which regulate
earnings which employers cannot alter,
and that i is futile 70 ask more than
business win justify. The employers
on the other hand have better UNDER

fair prices and Of extending considerable
treatment generally to their men. II

They Met.

There used to be village girl who
sang, 1--WE Met, Twas In A crowd, And
/ thought he Would Shun Me- Many
days have grown bright and faded since
she sat in the parlor and. while the
martins were twittering under the caves,
sang that song. Her voice was not cul-
tivated. nor was it particularly sweet.
but the young fellows who boarded
with the girls widowed mother thought
that it was charming, and indeed it was
Ito them. At evening, when she had
helped her mother put away the dishes,
she would summon everyone into the
parlor by dash of ''Moneymusk' or
crude shower of something which
girl who had been off to boarding
school brought home with her, and
which she impressively termed opera.
Everything difficult was opera, but
many selections from the grand old OPP
eras were sung with unconcern-the
entertaining of angels unawares.
When the party entered the parlor. in
obedience to the summons, some one
would say:
miss Susie, sing us something's"
''What must l singp"
Il don't know. Singyour favo-rite. !"
Then, after a sigh, she would begin.
I'VE Met, Twas In A Crowd, etc. The
company, instead of entering into a
promiscous conversation, would pay
strict attention to the song and sigh at
its conclusion.
This girl married man whom she
took to be great lawyer. but who
proved to be only an indifferent real
estate agent She is now widow. and

There is something almost romantic
In the design and construction Of the
monster Lick telescope. Being the
greatest work ever undertaken, pres
enting difficulties that had never be-
fore been encountered; inviting and
suffering drawbacks and disasters that
seemed to be sufficient to stagger the
most persistent and painstaking skill;
watched from day to day by whole
world Of anxious observers; lowered
over and caressed by the united wis
dom OF generatiou-the lens has
come into the world with its great
cyclopean eye ready to pierce the mys-
teries of the heavens. Captain Thomas
Fraser, superintendent Of the observa-
tory, furnishes some hitherto unpub-
lished and highly interesting informa-
ton concerning the grinding OF the
crown-glass lens, and the plan adopted
for transporting it from Ga.s:s,ori.' .s 81
port, Mass, to San .Iesv. On the sub
iiecss ~ The grinding, he says that the
closest measurement at command was
the ITO, 000th part of an inch; but on
grinding the great lens it was discov-
cred that even this in6nitesimal frac-
ton was two large. A still finer meas
usement was required in reducing the
lens in numberless places to thick
ness Gtself unequa) that would exact
" concentrate parallel rays of light
filing circle three feet in diameter to
a point little larger than pin. In
order to reduce the fine measurement
already at command, the following in
genious arrangement was employed by
Alvin Clark & Sons. makers of the lens:
A gas jet was placed before mirror
which sent the rays of light through
the telescope to the great lens, thus
magnifving the rays. The magnified
light, passing through the great lens
was still further immensely magnified,
and after having passed through this
lens, it was observed through second
telescope and thus further magnifled
In this way the least failure OF the
great lens to concentrate perfectly
was detected, and there was also deter
mnde the amount of glass in it, at any
given point, that had to be ground of
in order to secure a perfect focus.
Thus measurement of the 1000. 000th
part of an inch was secured. 1t took
very little grinding to remove SO small
= thickness of glass from given
point, gentle rubbing with the thumb
being sufficient, as the glass is softer
than common window glass. Boston

Here and There.

Just men are only free the
rest are slaves.
One today is worth thous
and yesterdays.
He does nothing who endeav-
ors to do more than is allowed
to humanity.
There are brighter dreams
and higher aspirations than the
wish to please and be pleased.
To indulge in continual regrets
for what cannot be remedied
is only magnifying.
evil.
Bright days do not always
constitute warm ones, neither
do many smiles make the true
friend.
How comfortless is the sorrow
Of him who feels at once the
pangs Of guilt and the vexation
of calamity which guilt brought
upon him.
Virtue can afford quietness
Of conscience, a steady prospect
of a happier state; this may
enable us to endure calamity
with patience, but remember
that patience must oppose pain.
The triumph Of woman lies
not in the admiration of her
love, but in the respect of her
husband, and that can only be
gained by a constant cultivation
Of those qualities which she
perceives he most values.
He that has much to do will
do something wrong, and of
that wrong must suffer the con-
sequences, and if it were posi-
BILE that he should always act
to judge of his conduct the bad
will censure and obstruct him
by malevolence, and the just
sometimes by mistake.
Those who have already all
that they can enjoy must in
crease their desires. lie that
has built for use until use is
supplied, must begin to build
for vanity; and extend his plan
to the utmost power of human
performance that he may not
be soon reduced to form another
wish.

Ignatius Donnelly is still hard at
work trying to pull Shakespeare
from his pedestal. A good deal of
false sentiment has been expended
by those who insist that it is a lit
erary sacrilege to prove that Shake
speare did not write Hamlet, Rich
ard III, Macbeth, etc. This is all
nonsense. If anyone can prove
Shakespeare a fraud, let him be al
lowed to come forward and present
his proofs. If Shakespeare did not
write these plays and someone else
did, it is high time for the world to
become acquainted with these facts.
Because a certain thing has been
accepted all these years is no
special reason why the facts in the
case should be suppressed. There
is nothing in sentiment in this con-
nection, give us facts.
1t is urged that if Shakespeare
had written these plays he would
have mentioned them in his will.
Those who use this argument then
insist that Bacon wrote them. Did
Bacon mention them in his will?
The probabilities are that the
controversy will go on for years,
and the plays will still hold the
boards and entrance the public, no
matter what literary brand may be
finally placed upon them. Shake
speare may never have written the
plays, but he has the full credit of
it at the present day, and if the
world rolls thousand years from
now, the stately and Incompatible
language of these dramas will still
charm the public sense, and they
will still be credited to Shakespeare
as of old. All this, however, does
not prove beyond a doubt that
Shakespeare was the real author.
